Yes a little bit steady, but it is some of the most simple soldering you can do, only need to scrape of some paint, solder metal USB to the new copper area and that's it, lots of space to work with, in my battery thread i posted my USB fuse fix, now here there where almost no space at all.
EDIT: and that's not a stupid question at all, im only enraged when it gets to the totally absurd stage of not even bothering to read before posting (latest posts in my battery thread)

Why oh why are people waiting for there port to fall out when they can do the preventative repair that will make sure it does NOT fall out is beyond me.
The time has now come for EVERYBODY who has not done the fix to actually do it.
Makes me sad to look on the "Problems with N900 USB port becoming broken / loose and resulting warranty & repair issues" thread to see people obviously doing nothing about it and when it breaks away to go on that thread for help.

Guys, thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it! My device now works like a charm. Couldn't have done it without you.
Sorry for the late reply though.

Putting a blob of solder on usb plug/ground plane makes the usb plug practically indestructable. DO IT NOW CORD.

never opened up my device and i'm guessing a fix like that requires a steady hand?
soldering iron and back spasms (long story) probably wont go too well together in trying to do the fix.
At best i've filed off the teeth on the usb cable and charger.
